ImTranslator

ImTranslator is the translation application that performs an instant translation of words, phrases and text between more than 100 languages using 3 translation providers: Google, Microsoft Bing, and Translator.

ImTranslator application can be run in two modes:

  • from the browser's toolbar
  • as a standalone application

 

Running ImTranslator from the Browser's Toolbar

  • select text with the mouse, then click  imtranslator-small ImTranslator: Translation, Dictionary, TTS button on the Opera toolbar.
    The selected text will be transferred to the original text window, and the translation appears in the translation pane.

 

Opera-ImTranslator-Toolbar-App

 

  • click   imtranslator-smallImTranslator button on the Opera toolbar without selecting text with the mouse.
    If you have "Save recent work" option enabled, your last input text will be saved for future use.  After you re-opened the application, the latest entered text will be retrieved and displayed in the original text window.
    Otherwise, you will see an empty text window.  You can type in or paste your text to translate.

With any movement of the mouse or click outside of the translation window, the translation application closes.

If you want to keep the translation application open, use ImTranslator as a standalone application. It will stay open on your screen until you close it manually.

If you enter a single word, ImTranslator automatically switches to the Dictionary mode provided the "Enable Dictionary" option is selected.
The dictionary's translations displays alternative translations along with the parts of speech, reverse translations, and voice, if available.  ImTranslator remembers the translation provider you used before Dictionary.  If you switch back to the Translator mode, ImTranslator  displays one regular translation of a searched word.
